Paul Muni is quite the Hollywood hunk.He made a total of 25 films and was nominated for Best Actor in five of them, including "I Am A Fugitive ..." and "Emile Zola." Ironically, he won portraying Louis Pasteur in between the two films. Muni was also one of six to receive a nomination in their first film, but the only one of the six to eventually win.
Muni, other than being ruggedly good looking, was quite the eccentric. Later in his life, his wife, Bella, took control of his career often making directors reshoot scenes that did not meet to her approval.
He also apparently went into rages if someone wore red, but would relax on set playing violin.
